Contribution
It proposes a novel startup approach that enhances safety and efficiency in Erlang/OTP systems with minimal changes to existing libraries.
Findings
Startup is now safe and quick
Requires only slight modifications to Erlang/OTP
Applicable to both new and legacy systems
Abstract
This paper presents a realization for the reliable and fast startup of distributed systems written in Erlang. The traditional startup provided by the Erlang/OTP library is sequential, parallelization usually requires unsafe and ad-hoc solutions. The proposed method calls only for slight modifications in the Erlang/OTP stdlib by applying a system dependency graph. It makes the startup safe, quick, and it is equally easy to use in newly developed and legacy systems.
